My cousin said have you seen the vid of the dhu on a popper . Found it and every bit as impressive as I was told. Nice one Mr Saltfix ! Awesome catch great vid :)))
@@col2959 cheers mate
Wowzer! Thats so epic man !
Even chasing the birds around and pulling up throwing a lure and hooking a king straight up is unreal.
Well done scotty 👍
Cheers Lachie there was three fishless session before that one so I guess its just reward for effort. slowly learning more about these kings and finding em in more places
@Saltfix 💯 man, go often and you will get rewarded.
Have to tee up another king sesh i enjoyed that 😊
Absolutely insane! One of your best vids ever.
@@lee.j thanks mate.

@@kookfishin cheers dude.
Yep I spend a lot of time in the water so I guess my odds are better to see cool stuff.
Just love being out there .
Let’s see if we can t up a collab in the new year
@ that would be awesome man! Absolutely a collab in the new year is something i can get behind. Sounds like a plan 🫡
Great video gotta love being able to create some of the best memories out fishing
That was a special one for me.
Dhu on fly next.
Now l’ve seen it all! Well done on the fish of a lifetime
@@alexilles4994 cheers mate
Unbelievable mate im glad the footage came out awesome, I reckon you'd be just about the only person in the world to catch a Dhuie on popper 👏👏👏 absolute quality mate 🤙
@@blissniques cheers dude.
Just got lucky I guess
@Saltfix its not luck when you put in the hours mate 🤙
Just found your channel and subscribed. Good common-sense fishing and video production. What also convinced me was your organised the cliped on towel and gloves on the baitboard. No bad language or stupid music. so the kids can watch.
Great video, magic day . awesome
@@1greghawk thanks for watching
@@Saltfix always look forward to your videos, should inspire me to get my boat out more haha
Mint job Scotty, love the vids.
Where did you get the stickers from?
@@sizzlingspools4095 I made the stickers from some cheap stuff off eBay already peeling , but I’ll try and get some decent ones made in the new year . I’ll post up when they available
Hey Scotty, nice work. Many years ago a friend was trolling a popper in 5m of water, almost back at the marina, when it got slammed by a dhufish. I don’t tell anyone because they would never believe me. Haha.
That's awesome, you gotta believe in the impossible. Haha
10kg dhu in 6m of water on a popper??? That is absolutely unbelievable good stuff mate
Yeah pretty crazy, never seen a dhu come that shallow, guess it's all about being in the right place at the right time.
Special fish mate, congrats. How epic!
Love the drone shots at the end too
Cheers mate thanks for watching
Hi Scott, inspiring video . I've hear roomers about Dhues on lures, "but not a popper" now I've see it! Love your work, stay safe , tight lines. Cya
Thanks heaps, gotta believe in the impossible sometimes.
Crazy dhu on a popper , nice fish 🤛🏻
awesome vid mate!
Thanks mate, appreciate the support
On a popper?? Well done Scott 👍🎣😎
Yeah, never gonna forget that one
Recon ya got more chance winning the lotto then getting a dhu on surface! Insane stuff man bloody awesome
I need to put in as much time to lotto as I do fishing , was a pretty special fish
Cool idea with the tape, might need to give that a go
@@HookedWithSteve it works
Ive had plenty of fish just swim over as soon as I arrive can only think it’s the tape
Hey mate do you stick that tape on the part of the boat that's in the water or just above the water?
@@ozzy05 it’s kinda half half so it flashes in and out as the boat rocks
Dhubite tackle gets the Dhufish even on the popper LoL. Epic catch and on film too 🤘. Well done.
It’s amazing how these fish will hit anything!
@Saltfix territorial hit i reckon. Your popper was in his hood LoL.
@ yeah possibly
Bloody insane man 🔥🔥🔥 very very very very very very few fishos can say they have done that 😂🔥
@@rush.gang.fishing let’s see if we can back it up mate
Shot dhufish in 3 meters in that area so I always wondered if it was possible but to see it done is so cool! Congrats mate! First I’ve ever heard of it!
Yeah those dhuies are a bit of a mystery, glad I could share that!
Legend nice effort
I rekon the bigger Shia always come in with the whites and mooch around for a few weeks
Keep up the rippa clips mate
Living the dream Scotty, living the dream.🤙🤙
Its just time and effort, I get a lot of shitty days too, but try and learn from each time and slowly put the puzzle together
@Saltfix That's what makes days like that all the more special as a pay-off for the grind. Keeps the rest of us inspired 😉
@ thanks Sam
Nice work! Did that Dhu have some old war wounds around its head? Looked damaged. Great vid as always!
Yes it did seem a bit bashed, i just wanted to see it swim off so didnt keep it out for long
Wow, What can one say? What an amazing event that was!
@@wazzastinnyfishing cheers Waz
Pretty epic day
Mate I’ve been waiting for this video since you posted on fb
How good
Pretty special capture, it will be hard to back that one up,
Very cool vid mate.
Enough time on the water and anything can happen.
@@tin-yetti cheers Joel
What a fish🤙
thanks Mate
Awesome. Now that's a hard act to follow... congratulations
thanks for watching
That’s bloody crazy a dhu on a popper well done
Thanks mate, shows when they want to they can be aggressive
Mate I think your onto something here. I've used a witch doctor to attract pelagics. Why not make a boat doctor with some stickers. Great share. Subscribed cos of your raw content.
@@rayzar6720 thanks mate, started using teaser style things but I kept getting tangled in them when hooked fish lap the boat.
Stickers just made sense
And that dhuie on a popper. That's a first id say
Nice one mate...where did you get your flashing fish boat sticker from ? Cheers
@@noeldenney7782 made them myself but I’m looking at getting some printed in the new year , I’ll post up when I get em done em if people want some
@@Saltfix Cheers...put me down for 4 thanks...😁
Hi Scotty top stuff insane fishing. where can i buy that tape mate?
Hi mate I just got tape from ebay and cut it into little fishy shapes, not the best quality its already starting to peel.
in the new year ill see if i can source a printer or sign writer to cut me some good ones and ill get a heap done
Where'd u get that fish flasher decal for your hull from mate?
@@1greghawk made it from some flash tape but pretty shitty quality
I’m going to get some proper ones done in the new year and I’ll get a heap done cause heaps have asked
@@Saltfix awesome
thats crazy, didn't think that was possible
Haha what a wicked fish,and on a popper?? Hoping to get dhuie after Christmas
Good luck mate im sure you will get it done,wind is pretty shit this time of year,hard to find a decent day
Yeah just hoping for some better conditions soon
That dui fish is a very nice specimen,
And the flasher on the side of the boat is a nice touch.
I believe the flasher works.
cheers for watching
Awesome result!
Cheers mate, it was a crazy day.
nice one scotty turned it on!
Thanks mate, was a lucky day
WOW
Thanks for watching
Where did you get the fish stickers for the boat ?
@@Maddfisher made em myself from some tape I bought of eBay
Special effort with the dhu on the popper 👏
Yep, pretty cool fish!
Kingfish Sashimi!!! Yum!
mmmmm,
@@Saltfix King fish ceviche! Give it a go mate!
Awesome but not shocked. When we dive, they follow you up in 40m of water sometimes almost to the boat. They will take bait real close to the boat in up to 15m of water.
They're not shy that's for sure!
Holy fark well done 😂👌
Cheers mate , a LOT of time and casts went into those fish.
Never seen or heard of anything like it.
Pretty crazy
Thats sick topwater dhu big inshore female
Tell me this Scotty in your off season can the professional fisherman take fish ?
unfortunately yes
@Saltfix that is bs but typical because basically there saying it's the amature fisherman depleting resources 👍
That is a fish to remember, it identifies as a kingfish.
@@anthonybamford8823 haha
Yep it sure wasn’t acting like a Dhu fish
use steady rod
@@Unknowkid-wm1vw ok
I think I’ve heard of a dhu on a popper near S bend I think it was (or a reef near there), but as I can’t remember who, it’s not even quite a rumour 😂
There was a guy called Cody who caught a dhuie landbased on a floating stick bait at rotto, and that was at least on film, so confirmed
Yeah i dont believe its the first. if they are hungry they can be quite aggressive predators
cody willis is the guy! even crazier that is was landbased as well hey ahahahaha
@ I’ll check it out
@@Saltfixstill the first I’ve seen confirmed and on camera! And even if not the first, still an amazing catch 🙏 love the kings too. Need to get onto them again. I’ve only had minor success in winter/spring
what is ur reel
@@River_Reelz 5000 Saltist
Millions of people love raw protein! Explore the wonderful cuisine of Sashimi and ceviche! If you were blindfolded and ate fresh raw snapper you would swear it was raw beef!
um yep ok.
From Algeria
Gday in Algeria, glad to have you on board
Good work now nice work!
That one wouldn’t fit in your anchor well
Ha ha yeah it was a solid fish
The kings ive caught in WA have been mushy are they all like that over here
Seem to be half to 2/3rds mushy, but I’ve had some good ones. All fine when sashimi though
smaller ones are mostly ok, as they get bigger the mush ratio increases
Those diawa saltwater rods are so good for the price hey!
@@william.jake.a yeah pretty decent
So all evidence points to the popper being an absolute waste of time?? I'll stick to bait on circles!
OOOpps spoke too soon! What a freaking Dhu catch! Outstanding!
I wouldnt go target Dhu fish on poppers , but plenty of other fish eat em
